THE LAW BY WHICH MAN WILL BE JUDGED

In order for a judge to be able to pronounce judgment there must be a law in place by which he will judge. The law should be objective. In other words it should be without bias or prejudice or else justice will not prevail. The Bible reveals to man that the law by which God will use for at the judgment will be the Word of God. Jesus said, “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:48). The Word of God is objective. It did not come from the mind of men but rather from God. Peter wrote:

Peter is teaching that private interpretations, opinions, and points of view are not part of the objective standard used by God to judge mankind. God is very serious about this matter. He warned man about this fact through the inspired pen of John:

The Word of God cannot be an objective standard if man adds or deletes one word from it. If he does, he changes the intended purpose of the standard. Case and point is the situation surrounding Eve in her confrontation with the serpent in the Garden of Eden.

God’s Law says:

Satan’s said:

The Word of God stands alone as the objective measuring tool by which God will judge mankind!
